Pre-selection

Hey all! CHECK YOUR SPAM!  
I was eagerly awaiting the email whole day and I must say that I got a bit sad at first, coz I haven't received anything. Then I went thru my mailbox again and the message from the EC was in the SPAM folder.
congrats to all!

Starting to get worried now, do you think they are sending the emails by country? Where are people from who have been accepted so far?

No, not in Spam as well.... i don't think they are going to send emails at night though.. so.. i think i will wait until 5-6 and then..it's almost 16.30 in Brussels..

Guys, I have a request for the ones who got in and rejected as well. Could you check the website in particular your profile, if there was an update on the dossier ?

I think I deleted something in my spam earlier today, but I'm not sure what was it.

I checked my dossier on the site and there wasn't any update. I'm asking that,to see if I they update the status on the site simultaneously as they send the email (cause I might as well deleted the right email.. :/ )

Just checked my application status online and it still "only" says it has been submitted. no update there.

Hey congrats to the ones that made it so far

Is anybody from here Spanish? I would like to check the "by-country" theory...so if there are Spanish people here that already got the confirmation email then I can allow myself to stop checking my mail box every 3 min, because this is killing me!

Same here. No mail and no update.

Hi everyone! Congrats to those who already made it  

I have some questions..

Did you all receive this e-mail on the 6th november (or something)?

"Dear candidate,
On behalf of the Traineeships Office Unit of the European Commission, I would like to inform you that the pre-selection phase of the session March 2014 is currently being conducted and it will soon be completed. Immediately after, the eligibility check of the applications pre-identified to be included in the Blue Book will start. If you have been pre-identified to be included in the Virtual Blue Book you will be requested on November the 18th to provide all supporting documents........
..... Should you consider that your application is solid enough to be pre-selected for the Virtual Blue Book, I would strongly advise you to start preparing copies of the above mentioned documents, taking into account that you will only be given 7 working days to send them to us by registered mail: from November the 18th until November the 26th."

I'm Spanish, and as I said before, I didn't receive anything.

Can anyone that got the email confirm that the status changed on the website as well ?

Thanks for the answers guys.

Hi Jefe Gris! I'm Italian and I believe in the "country theory"  

Yeah, THAT'S THE SPIRIT!!

Hey, I am from Spain and I did receive an email saying that I'm preselected. If this helps you, I sent my application on the very last day, so maybe they have started sending emails backwards....

Good luck to everybody

Hi there!
Anyone from Portugal?

Hey, I hope this country theory is true...
I'm French, any French here who got selected yet?
No email, not even in the junkbox, no update on the Commission's website, nothing ! I really don't know what to think but I'm losing hope !

I'm Greek and still no email...

Congratulations  

I give up on waiting and checking my email. Perhaps I'm luckier next time.
Good luck to the ones who are still waiting  

I'm from Germany and I haven't reveived an e-mail yet...

Do ALL (even those not been preselected) candidates receive an e-mail?

Which department did you choose? I applied for the Legal Service.

No, i didn't receive ANYTHING at all..

It might be useful to check if those pre-selected received a multiple recipients e-mail or they are responding one-by-one. May I request from two people that received the e-mail tell the exact time it was delivered please? If delivery time is exactly similar the "thousands-of-mails" hypothesis can be falsified.

ps: from past experience I can tell that also those not selected get an e-mail, though I am not sure about the timing.

Is there anybody here that has received the confirmation email after 3 pm???

Hey, I'm French too and did not receive anything (yet, I hope) . Any other French peeps?

When do you think we'll should give up on hoping?

Oh dear, I love how you all unite in this stressful moment.

No good news from Poland - I haven't received any email and I can't even log onto my account to check the status of my application due to '500 Internal Server Error'. Is it only me who has been denied access to the EC traineeship portal?

Congrats to all of you who got pre-selected and fingers crossed for those still waiting.

I'm Italian, still waiting for the mail!

Konstantina88, I am from Greece too and have not recieved anything at all yet.

Same error here on the EC traineeship portal ! It's been on for about an hour I think...
